I think this is saying that when you run an application full screen, it could pretend to act like Qubes and draw fake applications to trick you into thinking you weren't running the application any more, but your desktop. It shouldn't have any access to other windows though, even in full screen. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
